Maximizing Your Results with SoftBench
Planning Your ProjectPlanning Your Project
You can use SoftBench as your project planning environment by specifying the files of the project and their relationships even before the files exist. Unique icons in the Files view remind you which files have yet to be created in the file system. You can always change file lists to add, remove, or rename files as your project actually takes shape.
First determine how you will share pieces of your project among your team members. From this you can lay out your parent project and subproject definitions. See “Setting Up a Project” on page 50 for more information.
Next populate your projects with your files. You can add existing files into your project or create new files in your editor and have them automatically become members of the project. See “Adding Existing Files to a Project” on page 58 and “Using Editors with Projects” on page 118 for more information.
Define your targets and how to build them. Then set up dependencies between your source files and your targets, or between two targets that must be build in a specific order. Refer to “Specifying Dependency Relationships” on page 61 for details.
Now continue your development process in your SoftBench environment where all of your tools, from editor to debugger, understand your project files and build dependencies.
